GPO Telephone

Needs an adapter to get it to ring, but it's now a pleasure to slam down the phone on telemarketers.

This made me laugh a lot!
Youre right, there is no pleasure anymore than pressing the hang up button on people we dont like. There is nothing more rewarding than a good old slam the phone down. And back in the day the other end would have heard a louder than normal CLICK!

I've got one...
...but have you found a way to deal with 'press hash to continue'?

Drives me mad when they hang up on you for not pressing hash...

I have
seven - four black and three ivory, most of them have the chrome buttons for either "Call Exchange" or "Bell On - Bell Off". Something that just works, properly, though I only have three connected. I still have to have one cordless thing as the missus likes to prowl around the house while she talks crap to her mates. Oh, and for # and * . . ..

What about an adapter to get it to dial?
Do BT still support pulse dialling? If so, are there any plans to get rid of it?
